Despite allthingsd is claiming this information as confirmed, we will take this news as a rumour.

According to several sources, allthingsd says, the iPhone 5 will be announced in the unconfirmed date September 12, and the iPad Mini a 8 inches less tablet in a separated event in October.

Some have already speculated that Apple would likely separate these two iOS device announcements, particularly since both are likely to be blockbuster events.

“I don’t think Apple would want reviews of both a new iPhone and new-size iPad appearing at the same time,” Daring Fireball’s John Gruber wrote. “Why share the spotlight? Why have another Apple product battling with the iPhone for the top spots in news coverage? … The more I think about it, the less sense it makes for the iPhone to even share the stage at the announcement with any other product. The iPhone is too big, too cool, and garners too much attention — and it’s in Apple’s interest to keep that attention undiluted.”
